A stay at Fairlight Wood Club Campsite is almost like taking a soothing break in a large and lovely garden. This is a small and intimate campsite set in flower rich woodland and with many quaint footpaths to wander along. The area is rich in historic value - the nearby seaside town of Hastings was William the Conqueror's base camp in 1066 and it was here he chose to build his famous castle following the historic victory at Battle.
Fairlight Wood Club Campsite offers a perfect retreat for nature lovers - its surrounding woodlands are listed as a Biodiversity area so are ideal for spotting wildlife. It's also in an ideal location for dog walking. The nearby Old Hastings is well worth the visit for its quiet charm - here you can watch the fisherman bringing home their daily catch, eat some of the freshest fish and chips you've ever tasted and then walk the meal off with a leisurely stroll along streets that still hold the atmosphere of days gone by. Choosing a holiday in East Sussex also puts you within a short distance from the scenic East Cliffs, and for walkers who enjoy a bit of a challenge, it connects with a lovely 5 mile Country Park walk which will lead you through a wealth of natural treats such as wooded valleys and secluded beaches. Look out for The Big White House in nearby Pett Level which was featured in the Channel Four series, Grand Designs.

Lovely peaceful site surrounded by pretty woodland with plenty of walking access. I would recommend this site to solo travellers and couples rather than families. There are no facilities for children on site - which suits me! Spotless facilities and welcoming friendly wardens. I have booked to return shortly to... Show more

Our New Favourite Site
Very friendly and welcoming staff, and everything clean and tidy. The approach lane is narrow, and the potholes help to keep the speed down, especially when passing other vehicles. Wonderful cycle route to Winchelsea and Pett Level, although very steep in parts. Next time to Rye, Hastings and beyond! Looking forward to our... Show more

Great location
The site could not be better placed: surrounded by bluebell woods; a short walk to a pretty village (with 2 pubs & a church); close to the coast and a short drive to the tourist bustle of Hastings. The site is approx. 600m down a quiet lane; the prevailing... Show more
